baz 463 Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Hi, has anybody,s dog running abilities been effected once they have cut the tends? My bitch sliced hers yesterday and after being stitched back up , I know it is going to part again... And she will have to cope with having a flat toe now, but I'm gutted now thinking it will effect her running. Any experiences on it?????? Quote Link to post
gorger 977 Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 My dog cut his stifle tendon last year was very lucky a bit higher he wouldve been finished but he came back ok. Don't like any toe injurys I think toes and wrist injurys effect them run. If you can get lazer done on toe helps a lot. Good luck hope it comes goodd for you. Quote Link to post

I've seen a good few dogs run excellently with ruptured tendons, but obviously it is not ideal.As Gorger said, lazer treatment can be beneficial Quote Link to post
matt1979 766 Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 My old man has had greyhounds which have had toes removed following tendon injuries, obviously not ideal, but they still ran well enough. Tendons have little to no blood supply so it is unlikely the tendon will heal fully, as the blood is needed to supply body tissue with the nutrients to heal. Hence muscles heal quickly due to large blood supply in muscle tissue and th tendons and ligaments are a little trickier to heal right. Cheers Matt. Quote Link to post
